Blood samples were collected from the MetS (n=92) and control (n=80) subjects. The subjects were characterized according to the National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP ATP-III). Blood DNA was extracted and genotyped by mismatch PCR-RFLP. A logistic regression model was performed to analyze the data. T-TEST and ANOVA (Analysis Of Variance) were used to compare differences between CC and CT+TT rs7903146 genotypes. The biochemical factors showed that BMI, SBP, DBP, FBS, TG levels in the MetS subjects were meaningfully higher than Normal subjects (P=0.001, P=0.000, P=0.000, P=0.031, P=0.000) and HDL level in the MetS subjects was Lower than Normal subjects (P=0.003). The biochemical factors and genotype analysis indicated that FBS and TG levels in the CT+ TT genotypes were significantly higher than that of CC genotype in MetS subjects (P =0.000); The HDL level and BMI in CC genotype were higher (P=0.003, P=0.002). Furthermore, logistic regression analysis of the genotype frequencies for people with a history of cardiovascular disease and people without cardiovascular disease in metabolic syndrome subjects, showed that the odds ratios (OR) of CT+ TT genotypes carriers for CVD risk were higher than those of CC genotypes carriers (OR: 2.8889; 95 % CI : 1.0344 - 8.0680; P = 0.0429). There was relative risk for CT+ TT genotypes versus CC genotype (RR: 1.3542; 95 % CI: 1.0386 - 1.7656; P = 0.0251).

Test and control groups were selected from imaging staffs in teaching hospitals of Hamadan and healthy employees working in other parts of the hospital, respectively. They were matched according to age and sex. The serum levels of cytokines IFN-γ, IL-4, IL-10 and IL-17 were determined and the results were analyzed by using SPSS 18. The obtained results indicated that the level of the IFN-γ and IL-10 in the radiation workers were significantly lower than the control group (P <0.05). There was a statistically significant difference in the white blood cell count and percentage of peripheral blood lymphocytes between the radiation workers and the control group (P <0.05).

The present study was carried out in order to select the best method to manage health-care wastes through multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) approaches. The present study was a descriptive-applied research that was conducted in Qazvin in 2016. The study sample consisted of 28 experts belonging to 5 groups that were selected through purposefully sampling method. After the questionnaire was designed, Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was employed to measure the weight of the criteria. Afterward, TOPSIS method was utilized to rank different disposal methods of health-care waste. Based on the opinion of experts of the 5 groups about the weight of the criteria and the results of the weighting phase, it was indicated that the highest weight was related to air residuals criterion and environmental impacts, and the lowest to the cost criterion. According to the study inclusion criteria, the final results of the ranking are respectively irradiation (0.83), microwave (0.79), steam sterilization (autoclave) (0.75), chemical disinfection (0.55), sanitary landfill (0.35), and finally incineration (0.29). The results of the current study indicated that according to the groups under investigation, the best methods to dispose of health-care wastes in Qazvin are irradiation and microwave. According to this finding, the policymakers can plan to make more use of these two methods in order to dispose and disinfect health-care wastes. © 2016 Rohollah Kalhor et al.","PeriodicalId":119340,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Biology and Today`s World","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125099833","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus, this study was conducted to determine the effect of family guided visits on the level of consciousness in traumatic brain injury patients admitted to ICU.

The patients in the intervention group were visited daily by a trained member of a family receiving touch and auditory stimulations for 14 days. The control group met the patients regularly every day for 30 minutes each day. The level of consciousness was measured 30 minutes before and 30 minutes after the visits using the Glascow Coma Scale (GCS). The repeated measured ANOVA results revealed that the mean scores of GCS have significantly increased over time (from the first day to the fourteenth day) in the intervention group (p<0.001) and the control group (p<0.001). The increase in the intervention group was significantly higher than the control group (p<0.001).
